This repository and the npm package @sap-cloud-sdk/cli
are deprecated.
As replacement, we provide some sample applications, showcasing the SAP Cloud SDK for JavaScript.
You can continue using the CLI as long as it serves your purpose but do not expect major updates, bug fixes, etc.
The CLIs for OData and OpenAPI code generators will stay and are hosted in the main SAP Cloud SDK repository.
All the updates and resources replacing the CLI can be found in our latest documentation here.
A nifty command line interface (CLI) for the SAP Cloud SDK for JavaScript to initialize and package your SAP Cloud Platform application. It is also the launchpad when trying to set up the approuter or getting started with the project "Piper" for your continuous delivery needs.
Check our API documentation and getting started guide on our documentation portal.
The SAP Cloud SDK supports you end-to-end when developing applications that communicate with SAP solutions and services such as SAP S/4HANA Cloud, SAP SuccessFactors, and many others.
Using the SDK, you can reduce your effort when developing an application on SAP Cloud Platform by building on best practices delivered by the SDK. The SDK provides Java libraries, JavaScript libraries, project templates and a continuous delivery toolkit.
To install the CLI globally, run:
$ npm install -g @sap-cloud-sdk/cli
As long as the CLI version is less than 1.0.0
, run the following to update to the latest version. Please keep in mind, that these updates can have breaking changes as per the semver spec.
$ npm install -g @sap-cloud-sdk/cli@latest
$ npm install -g @sap-cloud-sdk/cli
$ sap-cloud-sdk COMMAND
running command...
$ sap-cloud-sdk (-v|--version|version)
@sap-cloud-sdk/cli/0.1.11 darwin-x64 node-v13.13.0
$ sap-cloud-sdk --help [COMMAND]
USAGE
$ sap-cloud-sdk COMMAND
...
The CLI can initialize an nest-based project or (the more common case) add everything you need to develop for SAP Cloud Platform to an existing project no matter what backend framework you use. If there are any incompatibilities, please let us know in the issues!
To get started run
$ sap-cloud-sdk init
in the project folder.
It will guide you through the initialization, create the necessary files and add necessary dependencies. If you run it in an empty folder, it will ask if you want to initialize a project using @nest/cli.
To deploy to and run on Cloud Foundry, you need to
- Make sure that your app listens to port 8080
- Build your app if necessary
- Run
sap-cloud-sdk package
- Push to Cloud Foundry (
cf push
)
For productive use, your app should implement user authentication and authorization.
For SAP Cloud Foundry, this is usually done by using the approuter and xsuaa service.
Start by running sap-cloud-sdk add-approuter
and configure the xsuaa service accordingly.

Generates a OData client from a edmx service file definition. For SAP solutions, you can find these definitions at https://api.sap.com/.
USAGE
$ sap-cloud-sdk generate-odata-client
OPTIONS
-i, --inputDir=inputDir (required) This directory will be recursively searched for
.edmx/.xml files.
-o, --outputDir=outputDir (required) Directory to save the generated code in.
-s, --serviceMapping=serviceMapping Configuration file to ensure consistent names between multiple
generation runs with updated / changed metadata files. Will be
generated if not existent. By default it will be saved to/read
from the input directory as "service-mapping.json".
--additionalFiles=additionalFiles Glob describing additional files to be added to the each
generated service directory.
--aggregatorDirectoryName=aggregatorDirectoryName Hack for cloud-sdk-vdm package
--aggregatorNpmPackageName=aggregatorNpmPackageName When provided, the generator will generate an additional package
with the provided name that has dependencies to all other
generated packages.
--clearOutputDir When set to true, the generator will delete EVERYTHING in the
specified output directory before generating code. [default:
false].
--forceOverwrite By default, the generator will exit when encountering a file that
already exists. When set to true, it will be overwritten instead.
Please note that compared to the --clearOutputDir option, this
will not delete outdated files. [default: false].
--generateCSN When set to true a CSN file will be generated for each service
definition in the output directory. [default: false].
--[no-]generateJs By default, the generator will also generate transpiled .js,
.js.map, .d.ts and .d.ts.map files. When set to false, the
generator will only generate .ts files. [default: true].
--[no-]generatePackageJson By default, the generator will generate a package.json file,
specifying dependencies and scripts for compiling and generating
documentation. When set to false, the generator will skip the
generation of the package.json. [default: true].
--[no-]generateTypedocJson By default, the generator will generate a typedoc.json file for
each package, used for the corresponding "doc" npm script. When
set to false, the generator will skip the generation of the
typedoc.json. [default: true].
--projectDir=projectDir [default: .] Path to the folder in which the VDM should be
created. The input and output dir are relative to this directory.
--s4hanaCloud When set to true, the description of the generated packages will
be specific to S/4HANA Cloud. [default: false].
--sdkAfterVersionScript When set to true, the package.json of generated services will
have the after-version script to internally keep the versions in
sync. [default: false].
--useSwagger Augment parsed information with information from swagger
definition files. Files are expected to have the same name as the
edmx file, but with .json as suffix. [default: false].
--writeReadme When set to true, the generator will write a README.md file into
the root folder of every package. This option does not make that
much sense without also set useSwagger to "true". [default:
false].

The CLI is based on oclif and can be extended using plugins. If you think your plugin should be part of the CLI itself, feel free to open a pull request. If you have found a bug in our existing functionality, please open an issue.
This repository uses yarn as a package manager.
This is only relevant for the development of the CLI.
Projects that use the CLI are free to use any package manager as long as a package.json
is present.
If you want to release, increase the version, run yarn prepack
to adjust the README.md and create a PR for that branch.
Once merged and if the tests are green, you can create a new GitHub release based on the main branch.
Fill in the release notes and press "Publish release".
This will trigger the github action and a new release will be published on npm
automatically.
